I have installed a set of spacers on my picanto, but the spacers is not changing 4 bolt to 5 or the other way around.

It's only moving the RIMS out. Mine by 5mm which is enough on the picanto.
Look at my garage.

But the spacer im using can be purchased from THansen in Denmark.
But Biltema in Sweden also has them.

Spacer
Spacers av aluminium, för spårviddsökning vid montering av lättmetallfälgar. 4/5 bult universal. 2-pack.Text is grabbed from www.biltema.se

Spacers at Biltema.se

Tjocklek 5 mm 33-3321 29,90 swe kr.
Tjocklek 3 mm 33-3320 29,90 swe kr.

Hope this is useful.

Hilsen ViCan2

Cool..I had no idea these were available for the new RIO already.
The stock 15' wheel offset is ET46. (bland/boring stance) The stock ET46 offset looks tucked inward a little too much.


With spacers you can get around a ET40 offset which would make for an aggressive sporty looking stance or appearance.
